Four life sentences for man who shot two former co-workers, injured two others
NANAIMO, B.C. — A man who fatally shot two former co-workers and injured two others at a sawmill in Nanaimo, B.C., has been handed four life sentences.
Kevin Addison, 50, was found guilty of two counts each of first-degree murder and attempted murder after using a sawed-off shotgun at Western Forest Products on the morning of April 30, 2014.
Addison, who will not be eligible for parole for 25 years, declined to address B.C. Supreme Court on Friday when Justice Robin Baird asked if he had anything to say.
His defence lawyer had told the court his client suffered from depression, but Baird called the killings planned, systematic and ruthless, adding depression alone does not explain Addison’s actions.
